**** that looks like a buzz! any1 with experience in this able to shed some light on the potential for sh!t to go seriously wrong doing loops/spins/an stalls like that? obviously when they're clashing chutes/lines etc but what about on his own? canopy seemed to handle all that no probs

Pretty sure its all part of the backpack setup - in built chair/seat harness and parachute.

Got a mate that does it. Im seriously keen on doing the course next year. Looks like awesome fun.

That backpack would surely pack a parachute just in case things go pear shaped and you need to abort. Wouldnt want to have to use it though

Would be a pretty spectacular way to die if those two foils met in a spiral!

Wow now that flying was impressive!!
We most certainly are pushing the boundaries, it seems we are now only restricted by our imaginations. I also wonder how these guys practice this?; as if you stuff up it's all bad.
